Good-bye Great Uncle Paul

[Candace]

For those of you who are easterners you may have heard of him. He was the brother of Maurice-my husband's grandfather. They headed the Landerman Orchestra and had a very colorful life. It's kind of a cool obit.

I read the article earlier today and was wondering if you were related. questioned answered. Do you know what P.O.M.G. stands for? Hartford trivia. Rusty

Nope, have no idea. What?

I only met Uncle Paul a couple of times. Once before we were married and while Maurice was still alive, and once when we brought our daughter to Conn. to make the rounds. All the ladies loved Paul. He wore a pony tail when he was in his 70's. Cool dude.

Any man wearing a pony tail in his 70's is certainly cool in my book.

Great family you have, Candace.

Interesting story. What a colorful life he had. It sounds like he lived life to the fullest. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks Dot, even if it's family by marriage;> I love seeing the old film star photos. Quite a romantic era.

The photos were really great! Especially the one with Cary Grant in it. :smitten:

Pictures of Lily started playing in my head immediately.

Candace, that is really quite cool...having known such a man.
